Homeschooling in Nebraska (NE): Requirements, Law & Standards

NE ·

No specific minimum annual hours or days are prescribed for exempt schools by Rule 13.

Nebraska treats homeschools as 'exempt schools' under Neb. Rev. Stat. 79-1601 and NDE Rule 13 (92 NAC 13). Parents file a notarized exemption affidavit/Information packet 30 days before starting and annually by July 15, electing not to meet state approval/accreditation requirements on religious and/or parental-direction grounds. They must offer a sequential program leading to basic skills in language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and health, and submit a scope-and-sequence summary plus a school-year calendar. No minimum instructional hours are mandated for exempt schools, and no routine standardized testing or assessment is required of homeschoolers (the Department may, in specific circumstances, mutually establish achievement testing; refusal can jeopardize exempt status, but there is no across-the-board grade-level testing mandate). Proof of child identity/age is required on enrollment.

Nebraska homeschools are legally 'exempt schools' (private, non-approved, non-accredited) under Neb. Rev. Stat. 79-1601 and governed by NDE Rule 13 (92 NAC 13). The parent/representative must file a Rule 13 exemption affidavit/Information packet with the Nebraska Department of Education's Exempt School Program. Initial filing is required at least thirty (30) days before beginning homeschooling, and annually thereafter by July 15. The statement lists the names and ages of all children and parents/guardians and includes statements of objection (religious belief and/or that approval requirements interfere with the parents' direction of the child's education) plus assurances regarding submission of enrollment/attendance information; signatures must be notarized. Filing may be done online or by mail/drop-off through the Exempt School Program Office.

On enrollment the parent must provide either (a) a certified copy of the student's birth certificate or (b) other reliable proof of the child's identity and age accompanied by an affidavit. Parents submit a scope-and-sequence summary of the sequential program of instruction (language arts, math, science, social studies, health) and a school-year calendar with hours of operation, and provide assurances regarding enrollment/attendance information. The state does not require submission of test scores or portfolios. Instructor qualification can be shown via a nationally recognized teacher-competency exam or informal evidence of competence (Neb. Rev. Stat. 79-1601(5)).
